Charles Spearin – 2/14/09 – The perfect release for Valentine’s Day… The Happiness Project is the latest creative endevour of Charles Spearing (founding member of Broken Social Scene and Do Make Say Think). You have to read about it to fully grasp the unique qualities of this album wherein Spearin attempts to “blur the line between speaking and singing”.

Great Lake Swimmers – 3/31/09 – The dust of their last album tour hadn’t settled before they were hard at work on Lost Channels! They spent some time along the St. Lawrence River recording the new album and I can’t wait to hear the new material! We can expect to see them live in Canada this March!

Ohbijou – 4/??/09 – After a busy tour with The Acorn, Ohbijou has been working hard on their latest offering Beacons. We’ll be able to hear it in early April and don’t be surprised to see them performing at a venue near you!

Amy Millan – ??/??/09 – I don’t know how she finds the time but in between shows with Stars, Amy Millan has found time to work on her second solo album! I haven’t got any official dates yet but I am hoping it will be released very soon!

I’m sure we will see many other great albums this year and hopefully live shows as well! See you there!

There is never a shortage of drama in the world of music and the indie scene is no exception. Check out this CBC video which gives us a look at the members of The Acorn & Ohbijou while they toured together this fall.

They are touring to support the release of a 12″ EP that they worked together on! It’s a great album… you can stream it live over on the Kelp Records site. Also a great place for some random and free mp3 downloads!
